But do we see the big tech companies doing anything to stop this kind of thing happening? Or is it the case of "she'll be right" attitude?

Are the big tech still running this as a big beta test, without telling people?

Personally I ignore anything until the first search result. And I disable/hide anything AI-related in results. It's bad enough with the load of AI-generated SEO spam going around.

In the meantime, do we tell people not to trust AI-generated content in search pages, opening actual search result links instead?

Fundamentally, vector search like this doesn't have a concept of something "matching" or "not matching". It's just a cosine similarity value. To determine if an image "matches", you have to check if that similarity is within some given threshold. If the results of the cosine similarity operation are encrypted (they are with HE), that wouldn't be possible to determine.

The bigger privacy risk would be that the device routes the request to a specific database shard based on whichever has a center-point closest to the image embedding on the device. They take steps to protect this information such as third-party proxying to hide user IP addresses, as well as having devices send fake requests so that the server cannot tell which are real user data and which are fake data.
That’s why that was the last demon in Pandora’s box.
I used to use AltSnap (https://github.com/RamonUnch/AltSnap) which works extremely well, and supports template snap zones.

Recently I wrote my own and now use that daily instead, which supports similar functionality (alt+drag) but also "zooming" in/out and panning around the desktop

People who are making quick social media posts while taking a casual walk outside on websites that don't make it easy to edit posts and are not expecting to be nitpicked about it.

Overall, it's something I've seen very often on social media and less technical articles about LLMs. OpenAI would fall into the "almost" category.

I can only imagine you being a "1st world" citizen for being this naive.

> "OpenAI somehow had access to hit men (!!)"

You think hitmen are only for movies?? Even much much smaller scale companies have people who sort out their problems. OpenAI is one of the biggest companies. Of course it has hitmen, connections with the police, FBI, CIA, NSA and whatever you can think of.

These companies (Boeing, OpenAI, Google, Microsoft) are sending a MESSAGE to the future whistleblowers. "You step on our tail, you're done" and they are making it as obvious as possible and you idiots still don't get the message?

You think these are some cute goofy nerds sitting and doing tech stuff and playing warcraft all day?
> Otherwise, you're just selecting for those who are willing to lie as blatantly as required.

That's a pessimistic way of looking at it, but I'm not going to claim it's wrong. I think my phrasing made it very clear that in most cases I expect if someone includes something about this their interest is going to be ahem embellished.

All the same look at it from the hiring managers side. Say you have two candidates, who appear to otherwise be equal. One seems to think the job is just like any other. The other actually seems genuinely interested in the details of food brokering, knows of your companies involvement in <big name>'s success and has thoughts on how they can apply their background in data analytics to the challenges you face.

Which candidate do you hire? Or do you really just toss a coin?

"governments will be incentivized..."

No they will not. Not in the least. Or put it this way, regardless of any incentives you can imagine, the overriding dynamic will be that powerful people will use immortality to remain in power forever, and they will have every incentive to prevent whomever they deem undesirable, unproductive, etc. from getting good health care.

Which is exactly how it works now.

Immortality will not be called immortality, it will be called premium health care. It will be incredibly expensive. It will be a subscription service.
I'm heavily biased here because I don't find much value in the bible personally. Some of the stories are interesting and some interpretations seem useful, but as a whole I find it arbitrary.

I never tell other people what to believe or how they should do that in any capacity.

With that said I find the hallucination component here fascinating. From my perspective everyone who interprets various religious text does so differently and usually that involves varying levels of fabrication or something that looks a lot like it. I'm speaking about the "talking in tongues" and other methods here. I'm not trying to lump all religions into the same bag here, but I have seen that a lot have different ways of "receiving" communication or directive. To me this seems pretty consistent with the colloquial idea of a hallucination.
Everything about what they did was absolutely fantastic and amazing, until they turned it on by default.
Kurt Godel kind of threw this line of reasoning into the bin unfortunately. No system can be both complete and consistent, therefore the authors statement that the set theory he is studying is the basis of all mathematics as well as consistent is probably false.

I mean, they were invaded and many towns and villages were pillaged and razed, and there are still civilian hostages in Gaza. That alone still guarantees large scale support in most of the world. What they’re trying to do is win over TikTok and Reddit, which seems futile.
I do agree with the idea of building out strong localised networks (and roll my eyes at the "US rail network" dream maps people post out). But my impression from France and Germany at least is that you have two sort of failure modes:

- For France, rural areas don't really have that good of a rail network. Instead there are several trunk lines that are reliable. But it means that east-west stuff is nearly non-existent. Lots of "drive me to the station and drop me off please". Good enough to put France at number 2 in numbers of km ridden per passenger!

- For Germany, the network is much more evenly spread out. But ever German I've met complaints constantly about the unreliability of the trains, combined with the low rate of service. So you end up with stations everywhere, but if a train gets cancelled you could be stranded for hours.

Anyways I do think the French model makes a hell of a lot of sense (prioritizing train frequency over coverage), but it might not be what people are expecting if they just look at a map of trains.
I'm sure you know that the point of that billboard is to state that your iPhone protects your privacy. That is generally true, Apple is by far the most privacy-focused major phone and software company. Advertising isn't literal, if we're going to be pedantic here the photons emitted by your iPhone's screen technically leave your iPhone and definitely contain private information.
This is interesting. I'm curious about how much (and what) these LLMs memorize verbatim.

Does anyone know any more thorough papers on this topic? For example, this could be tested on every verse in bible and lots of other text that is certainly in the training data: books in project gutenberg, wikipedia articles, etc.

Edit: this (and its references) looks like a good place to start: https://arxiv.org/abs/2407.17817v1

Run with the candidate's local text-editor and local terminal instead of a web-based IDE.
How certain are you that's correct? IME these "search problems" are the kind of thing almost always provokes hallucinations.

For example, I looked up the quotation provided from Isidore of Seville's De fide catholica contra Iudaeos, Lib. II, cap. 19, using this copy on WikiSource, https://la.wikisource.org/wiki/De_fide_catholica_contra_Iuda.... The quote certainly does not appear under LIBER SECUNDUS, CAPUT XIX. Nor could I find it in whole or in fragment anywhere in the document, nor indeed any mention of the miracle of loaves and fishes (granted, I could have missed one, I relied on Ctrl+F and my very rusty Latin).

Perhaps the copy on WikiSource is incomplete, or perhaps there are differing manuscripts, but perhaps also the quote was a complete hallucination to begin with.

I think inherited wealth is downright cancerous to society.

Ideally, we want to promote the most talented people into the positions where they have the most power and can wield it wisely. With inherited wealth, we instead give huge advantages to, not the talented, but the lucky, and we end up with incompetent leadership who are able to simply buy power with an inconsequential fraction of their wealth. When power is bought and not earned, you end up with people who do idiotic things with power. Eventually the society rots from within and is toppled by more efficient groups.
> like taking a photo, assuming stuff is sent to this service immediately upon adding a new photo

So you jumped to a conclusion based on an incorrect premise. This is easy to see that this does not happen immediately after taking a photo. One the network traffic will show this (and it won’t), two homomorphic encryption is expensive so it cannot. Photos classically doesn’t sync on demand, as most iPhone users will know by way if it telling you this in the photos app when it does sync. Most expensive operations are queued up for when the device is plugged in (and on WiFi) because it’ll otherwise drain battery.
I don't see why Madison doesn't work. I've taken buses to Madison, you can get downtown. You can usually find some transport. Or you can just call a ride share or something!

I've done Chicago -> Madison by bus, and honestly prefer it to the plane at least (even from the airport). More comfortable seats and I get out just at a station. High frequency bus lines feel like good indicators of where some trains could work, and it's not like bus services are dead.

(Similarly, I did Portland -> Eugene on Amtrak and it was nice and chill! I roadshared to my final destination but I had to get from A to B somehow)
I've used it for something to this effect, personalized "mantras" or "prayers" which fit the specific collection / mix of theologoical themes/concepts that I personally identify with. Im not necessarily religious but there is something nice about thematically relatable theocratic babble to recite during times of great turmoil and confusion to calmn the mind. like an on-demand mental reset switch.
Those are annual (over-the-prior-year) numbers, not monthly ones. When there is a rapid swing like this it makes more sense to look at monthly inflation (a much better approximation of the rate right now), which is at the lowest it's been in four years.

Engineering's hard and SEO is a game of cat-and-mouse.

While Google Search has absolutely become worse due to their own choices, SEO Players have also become much more adept and sophisticated.

If OpenAI didn't rush ChatGPT to market, most players would have probably spent more time working on these kinks.
Right. HSR isn't meant to replace all long distance travel. European cities still have very busy airports, and just look at the Ryanair route map: https://www.ryanair.com/en/cheap-flight-destinations. HSR would be ideal for DFW, Austin and Houston, where a triangular route would be very competitive, and I'd imagine would have very high passenger numbers and would replace a lot of plane and car journeys.

> Google photos doesn't have nearly the privacy focus and no HE whatsoever but I rarely see that mentioned here. It almost seems like Apple gets held to a higher standard just because they have privacy preserving initiatives.

What is so surprising about this? If you make big claims about anything, you are held to your own standards.
What you say is true, and I agree on self-determination in the abstract. But I simply can't believe the U.S. is in Taiwan to defend its people, rather than contain and weaken mainland China. The U.S. has demonstrated time and again it will gladly throw an ally under the bus in order to weaken an adversary ("it may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal"). To go back to the OP, moving TSMC to the U.S. looks a lot like preparation for scorched earth in Taiwan. [1]

Just wanted to share that I've been working on a schema for job descriptions.

There was a brown kid stabbed to death in NYC the same day. No resources were expended to find his killer.
Would be great as a first try, and you can always superglue them on securely
That’s pretty interesting, thanks. It’s related to abstraction (interfaces) vs representation (implementation) in programming. To my eye, there’s no conflict that 1 \in 3 is true in one representation and not in the other. Trying to use \in like that seems like a violation of an abstract interface, somehow expecting that the various implementations of an abstraction must be identical. It also doesn’t seem to violate platonism, since “numbers” are abstract ideas that are not expressible directly in set theory. Set theory can only encode concrete representations of numbers. Much like any physical chair cannot be identical to the platonic Chair.
I am by no means a professional in this area, but as a keen amateur I would worry about my inability to discern facts from hallucinations in such a scenario: while I could imagine such output provides a useful “springboard” set of references for someone already skilled in the right area, without being able to look up the original texts myself and make sense of the Latin/Greek I would not feel confident that such texts even really exist, let alone if they contain the actual words the LLM claims and if the translations are any good. And that’s before you get into questions of the “status” of any given work (was it considered accurate or apocryphal at the time of writing, for which audience was it intended using what kind of literary devices, what if any is the modern scholarly consensus on the value, truth or legitimacy of the text etc etc)
> Imagine programming in any other environment where every function you call could either succeed or fail catastrophically

There's not much to imagine since that's pretty much every other language?

Sure you can recover with error handlers (sometimes[0]), but by default all of them will hard abort in case of exceptions.

In our modern language landscape shells are very much the odd ones, where errors are completely silent by default and the thing just carries on oblivious that the world around it might be crumbling completely.

Correct. Unit tests are not only for the current version of the code, but also to prevent regressions in future versions of the same code.
Bots are real, man. HN's bots are top-notch. There is no other reason of these comments.
Okay except "encrypted, low-resolution copy of your photos" is an incredibly bad explanation of how this feature works. If nobody on HN so far has managed to find an explanation that is both accurate and understandable to the average consumer, any "hey can we do this" prompt for this feature is essentially useless anyways. And, IMO, unnecessary since it is theoretically 100% cryptographically secure.
Today UK has one of the largest piracy markets in the western world. Love it!
I think it's interesting to think about why people choose things. You can then decide "we want these qualities as well", or "we don't want those", or "we want them but haven't figured out how to get there without paying too high of a cost we want in other things".

Not a goal in itself to capture everyone, of course. But it's a data point!
Yep, that's the case in many parts of Southern California.
This is not true. The article you linked only mentioned one particular instance that the battery fire was not the result of a e-bike battery. There have been fires due to bad e-bike batteries (see https://www.thecity.nyc/2022/11/21/ebikes-fires-lithium-ion-..., and https://www.thecity.nyc/2024/01/31/ebike-battery-fire-hazard...).

I'm a huge pedal assist e-bike fan and I use my e-bike all the time around NYC. Throttle based e-bikes used to be technically illegal in NYC until 2020 (pedal assist were not), which is what all the delivery workers still continue to use. (https://www.nyc.gov/html/dot/html/bicyclists/ebikes.shtml). Do you have a citation that they continue to confiscate e-bikes?
When will the movie industry learn from the success of services like Spotify or DRM free music services like Bandcamp? I want media I can own, or consume from a single subscription. I would happily pay a few quid for a movie if I could download a high quality DRM free file. Piracy is not only free but provides a better product, a file you can do whatever you want with and watch anywhere.

Personally I don’t pirate, I prefer getting second hand physical media (funnily enough the movie studios miss out on any money there as well).
You probably do this already, but setting NO_COLOR=1 to disable colors and syntax highlighting is supported by an increasingly wide range of applications.
This is exciting. Modern keyboard designs are obviously very sub-optimal compared to what is theoretically possible, but it's a huge investment for an individual to test out new designs.

Just trying something out for a day isn't enough. You need to use it for as least several months to see how fast you can really become, what its accuracy is, how well it works in different contexts (gaming, software with many keyboard shortcuts, coding), how much it strains your wrist, how it handles different languages etc.

These radically different designs are also usually quite different from one other, so if you invest the time to learn one and it doesn't take off, then it's back to square one.

I hope that this can be a product that finally makes it worth it to try out
At the 2012 Turning Award conference in San Francisco, Prof William Kahan mentioned that he had a newer test suite available in 1993 that would have caught Intel's bug. Still, Intel did not run that.. Prof. Kahan was actively involved in its analysis and further testing. (I'm stating this just from memory).
Being comfortable with code being a black box, and seeing & being comfortable that it works without knowing how it works.

You can get away without applying, yes, if your network is strong enough to get referred wherever you want to work. FAANG and similar companies absolutely will not hire software engineers without interviewing them, since the cost of a bad hire is too high.

What I have seen on occasion, especially for more senior people, is a carefully constructed charade. We're not interviewing you, that would be so uncouth, we're just having a chat!
“Use a rooted…”

Aaaaand no.
> As for dataset, depending on your task, you need image / text pairs.

I guess the main question is, do you just prepare training data as if you were training from scratch, or is there some particularities to finetuning that should be considered?
Exactly - it’s the same problem when using (current) LLMs for major programming tasks, generally useless if you don’t already have enough knowledge of the language/platform to spot and correct the mistakes, plus enough awareness of software design and architecture to recognise what is going to be secure, performant and maintainable in the long run.

So Signal messages aren't secure because they're transmitted and so their "obfuscation" isn't enough to protect your data? Have you read what the author cited (and then admitted to not understanding) what Apple says they actually do to the data before transmission?

I could see an argument in the metadata (though there are multiple assumptions involved there, not least that they don't truly do OHTTP but instead conspire to learn at what timestamp a user took a picture), but if you already don't trust in what is essentially math, I'm not sure where the uncertainty and doubt ends
